Established in 1993,
and celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year (2013), INCORE (International
Conflict Research Institute) is a joint project of the United
Nations University and the University
of Ulster.
Combining research, education and comparative
analysis,
INCORE
addresses the causes and consequences of conflict in Northern Ireland
and internationally and promotes conflict resolution management strategies.
It aims to influence policymakers and practitioners involved in peace,
conflict and reconciliation issues while enhancing the nature of
international conflict research.

INCORE
is located within the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University
of Ulster ­ and co-ordinates the varied peace and conflict-related
activity across the University – encompassing work in disciplines
such as politics, policy studies, history, international affairs, sociology,
geography, architecture, communications and social work, as well as in
peace and conflict studies.

INCORE
works in partnership with a variety of institutions and organizations – locally
and internationally. Partner
organizations include community groups and civil society organizations
in Northern Ireland, peace and conflict-oriented NGOs and think-tanks
in Northern Ireland and internationally, and academic institutions around
the world.

INCORE and the United Nations University

INCORE
has had associate status with the United Nations University since
it was established in 1993. This relationship provides for cooperation
between the two in the promotion of research, postgraduate education
